Rahim had earlier informed the BCB that he would be unavailable for the T20I leg of the tour of Zimbabwe, as Bangladesh start a long build-up for the T20 World Cup in October.
“An MRI scan of Mushfiqur's left index finger revealed a small crack. For now, it will take a week's rest. Then we will start the rehabilitation process. Will be able to tour Zimbabwe. There is no fear about that” Enamul said.
